About This Item
Gainsborough: Stereotyped for, and printed and sold by, Henry Mozley, 1812. [4], 199pp, [1]. With eight plates. Later gilt-tooled brown half-morocco, tooled in gilt and blind, brown cloth boards. Lightly rubbed and marked. Bookplate of Alfred Jerome Brown to FEP, very occasional light spotting. A provincially published, stereotyped edition, of Anglo-Irish author Oliver Goldsmith's (1728?-1774) most renowned work. First published in 1766, The Vicar of Wakefield would become one of the defining novels of the eighteenth-century. Sadly the author was to profit little from the sensational success of the work, as Samuel Johnson had sold the rights for £60 in order to relieve Goldsmith from the pursuit of debtors. . Stereotype edition. 12mo.
